[Narrator]
There are gajillions ofstories...

:01:13

ofmischiefand fun,

:01:15

but to keep things simple,

:01:17

let's start withjust one...

:01:19

about a mom and two kids...

:01:22

and a house and a hat...

:01:24

that, oddly enough,

:01:26

was worn by a cat.

:01:28

But soon enough
we will get to all that.

:01:32

In the valley that stretches
from this hill to that hill,

:01:36

a city is nestled...

:01:38

that city is Anville.

:01:43

I'll check.
Thanks!

but quite big enough...

:01:49

for buyers and sellers
to sell and buy stuff,

:01:52

:01:54

and elongated ladders...

:01:57

to sailboats and gibble-grated
berry-juice bladders.
